I BUILD PRODUCTS, WRITE ABOUT SELFHOOD, AND MAKE SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO THINK TOGETHER.

PRIYA PARIKH

I studied film before I found product management, and I think that changed the way I approach building things. Film taught me to obsess over attention, structure, and how people experience something rather than just how it functions. Turns out that's a pretty useful way to think about products too.

Today I build AI products and write about home, selfhood, and belonging. They probably sound unrelated, but to me they're all versions of the same question: how people make sense of the world around them. Whether I'm shaping a roadmap, prototyping an app, hosting a Writers' Evening, or redesigning a home, I'm usually trying to untangle a messy problem and make it feel a little more intentional. It's become a surprisingly consistent way to live.
